well i finally got my period today ok earlier this week i stopped eating sugar and i was soo sad about my skin but once i stopped the sugar i didnt get any new acne, except a few small or not inflamed ones. but 3 days before today i broke out again -__- i got splotchy in places and i got like a few new hurting zits, especially yesterday and 2 days ago.. ugh just horrible because i didnt know when i was gonna have my period and i was doing better bc i realized sugar breaks me out

so i noticed i broke out before my period but i never really noticed specifically when, besides i still got new acne from sugar, oh and i stopped eating any junk food. righhhhht so im wondering if this breakout over the past 3 days was period like pms related or just random? :$ so how soon before your period do you break out?

It's weird for me, because my skin actually clears up and looks its best just before I get my period, like my stupid hormones are somehow evening themselves out.

It's very similar to me :]] I have no idea why is it like this.

I break out a couple days before my period then it usually slows down and clears up by the end of it. This time would be the exception! The biggest culprit for me breaking out is definitely stress. I am a stress bunny no matter what the circumstance, then I break out, then I stress BECAUSE I'm breaking out and it is a vicious cycle!

I get my breakouts two to three days before my period starts. It will start to clear up during the first or second day of my period. But when i used the essential bar from buzzy's essentials, i noticed that being free from breakouts before the period is possible
